I CanTravel Without Dramanine

I'm a big time fisherman. Well..at least I like to think so. :P When my dad and I go on our boat charter trips the first thing on my mind is always sea sickness. In the past I have always used Dramanine.

The last trip we went on I tried out this new product from Native Remedies called CanTravel. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked the same as Dramanine but I wasn't drowsy or dizzy as I usually am. And guess what? CanTravel works for all kinds of motion sickness. Heres a little more info...

Travel or motion sickness is caused by movement in different directions, particularly when the individual is sitting or standing still in a moving vehicle, boat or plane.

It can also happen when there is a loss of visual contact with the outside horizon or due to pressure changes in the inner ear during air travel.

These events may cause confusion in the balance center of the inner ear, leading to fatigue, nausea, dizziness and even vomiting. It is not known why some people are more prone to motion sickness than others. While children may eventually outgrow motion sickness as their perceptual abilities mature, some people suffer the symptoms throughout their lives.

How do I use CanTravel?

Children and Adults: Fill inner circle of cap with granules (level, not heaped) and sprinkle on the tongue in a clean mouth 15 minutes before journey.

Thereafter repeat every 20 minutes if necessary. Improvement should be noted within a few minutes.

Babies and Small Children: Half fill inner circle of cap with granules (level not heaped) and sprinkle on the tongue in a clean mouth 15 minutes before journey.

Thereafter repeat every 20 minutes if necessary.

How has CanTravel helped others?

"Thank you for a very successful treatment of my motion illness. I can recommend this remedy to anyone who has it because it has really worked for me! What a pleasure to be able to go on a boat trip with my friends without throwing up!!!!!!!!" - Sidney

"As a mother, I really can't believe that I have finally found a solution to my son's travel sickness! He is 10 years old and we have tried so many things - he hates taking any kind of medicine and is usually upset and anxious before we even leave. All our vacations needed to be planned around his problem. These granules are tasty - after some initial refusal, he now loves taking them and they work so well that our son is now able to enjoy a car journey for the first time in his life. His father and I were amazed at how we could all sing along in the car the other day (including him!) It is also a great relief that he can accompany his class on school outings without feeling ill and nervous. Thank you for recommending this product to me!" - Jess (grateful mother)

"I wanted you to know that we have used your CanTravel granules for my little girl with great success. It was always difficult to travel anywhere in the car except for very short journeys and I didnt like the nausea medication we always had to give her. CanTravel is wonderful because it prevents her from feeling sick and she is much calmer during the journey. I can highly recommend this product. " - Fiona J.

How long does one bottle of CanTravel last?

This depends on frequency of travel, but CanTravel can last for a number of journeys.

Detoxify Your Body - Live Naturally And Be Healthy

"I have been struggling with fatigue for many years. Every day I woke up feeling like I couldn't face the demands of the day - you know that feeling of "Oh No!" you get when you wake up?
After taking Detox Drops for only three days, I started to feel more alive and my energy levels increased every day. Also my headaches disappeared and I have less hayfever than before. Detox Drops are great!"- Carla, 43 years old.

"I live on junk food and I love it! I know I should eat healthy but it is difficult with my lifestyle. Detox Drops help when my body starts protesting too loudly!" - Anita, 25 years old.

21st Century life brings with it stress, environmental pollution, unhealthy diets and fast foods. Illnesses like cancer, heart disease, arthritis and other lifestyle conditions are becoming more frequent.

Despite plentiful food supplies and excellent medical facilities, many people in the Western world do not really know what it is like to feel truly healthy, full of energy and bounce.

Modern farming methods are often more geared to producing food which is 'bigger and better' - rather than food which is healthy and life sustaining.

Even so-called 'healthy food' is full of artificial hormones, insecticides and other chemicals, which destroy the vitamins and essential nutrition of the food we eat.

Research has shown that environmental pollution enters the blood stream via food, water supply and the atmosphere and causes levels of toxins to build up in the body. These toxins affect body functioning, especially the functioning of the liver.

The liver is the second largest organ in the body and is often seen as the most important one. In traditional Chinese medicine, for example, a healthy liver is seen as the most critical element in the body's ability to fight disease and function optimally.

Amongst other important functions, the liver is responsible for eliminating and detoxifying the poisons that enter our blood stream. It also produces bile which is essential in the breakdown of fats and is the organ which stores Vitamin A, D, E and K.

Environmental pollution, fast foods, drugs, alcohol and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to sluggish and diseased livers.

The result? Depressed immune systems, constant fatigue, obesity, sluggish livers and digestive systems, allergies, respiratory ailments, unhealthy skin and many other health problems.

Detox Drops are especially formulated to cleanse and detoxify the system, rejuvenate liver functioning, eliminate bloating and kick-start your body back to life!

Detox Drops can also assist with weight loss by improving the body's ability to break down and eliminate fat.

Combining the powerful detoxifying effects of Western herbal medicine and African herbalism, Detox Drops can help you to feel healthy, more energetic and full of life.

Detox Drops contain the following herbs:

Taraxacum officinalis (Dandelion): Dandelion contains bitter principles which have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. Dandelion is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances liver and gall bladder functioning and may decrease high blood pressure due to its diuretic properties.

Foeniculum vulgare (Fennel): fennel has been used since ancient times as an appetite suppressant and was traditionally used to prevent 'growling stomachs' during church services. Apart from its diuretic properties, Fennel also promotes the functioning of the liver, kidneys and spleen and is useful for acidic stomachs.

Pelargonium reniforme : is a medicinal plant known to generations of Khoi/San descendants and Xhosa traditional healers for its health-giving properties. Also known as 'Umckaloabo', it is traditionally used for a range of therapeutic functions and is well known for its beneficial effect on liver functioning and as a digestive tonic. This species of pelargonium is indigenous to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and grows wild, sending out long bulbous roots deep into the ground. The medicinally active ingredients are found in the bitter tasting root of the plant.

How long until I see results?

Within a few hours there will be increased urination as the kidneys begin to flush toxins out of the body.

Thereafter, you will feel a little more energetic every day.

Day by day, symptoms like fatigue, lethargy, headaches, painful joints, acne, sinus, allergies, etc will decrease and energy levels and a feeling of well-being will increase.

"I take Detox Drops before and after a good party - I mean you are only young once! We all know the effect alcohol has on the liver and how you feel the next day, so I start taking them the day before and carry on for a day or two. I hardly ever have a hangover like I used to, thank goodness!" - Andy, 31 years old.

Allergiclear - Feel Better with Natural Allergy Control

Cold Season Is Here! How I dread it. :(

Due to increased demand from our regular customers, we realized the need to provide an effective, yet safe alternative to the conventional treatment of allergic reactions like allergic rhinitis and hayfever.

Together with experts in the field, we have developed AllergiClear - a compound remedy containing herbal, homeopathic and nutritional ingredients known for their positive effect on preventing the allergic reactions to airborne allergens and improving respiratory health.

Taken regularly, AllergiClear can help you to become allergy free and reduce or even eliminate your dependence on synthetic antihistamines with their troublesome side effects.

What about conventional antihistamine treatment for allergic rhinitis and hayfever?

Doctors usually treat allergies supportively and with antihistamine drugs which can block the release of histamine and therefore reduce or prevent the allergic reaction. Antihistamines may be short acting or long acting and come in tablets, nasal sprays, inhalers, eye drops or syrups.

Antihistamines can be very effective and many people with severe allergies to airborne substances find it very difficult to lead a normal life without them. By preventing or reducing the allergic reaction, antihistamines can also help to prevent the illness cycle that arises due to frequent allergic attacks.

However, as always, the advantages of any medication should always be weighed against its disadvantages. Antihistamines can also cause unwanted side effects and even make allergies worse in some cases.

Disadvantages of Antihistamines

1. Antihistamines may lose their effectiveness over time
2. They can cause sedation and reduce concentration and increase the risk of motor vehicle and work related accidents
3. They may thicken mucus secretions and increase the risk of bacterial infection and sinusitis
4. They may make it more difficult for men with prostate problems to pass urine
5. Other side effects include insomnia, nightmares, dry mouth, rapid heart beat, anxiety and agitation
6. They should not be used with alcohol which can increase side effects
7. Some antihistamines are not recommended along with certain antibiotics or prescription antidepressants.

AllergiClear is helping people all over the world. Here are a couple of them:

"Do you know what it is like to breathe in and smell freshly mown grass? Well I could never dare to do this or risk horrible runny nose and streaming eyes. All summer long I had to put up with sneezing, red nose and swollen eyes. I HATED it!!! AllergiClear has made a big difference to my life and I can really recommend it to anyone with an allergy to pollen and grass. Thank you for this opportunity to submit my testimonial and all your help and sympathy! " Freda Jane

"At the age of 45, I have suffered from hayfever all my life, especially in the spring. My doctor and I have tried almost all the anti-histamines one by one which are usually effective at first and then less so as time goes by. Some years it got so bad I could not go out of the house and I always felt so unattractive with swollen and watering eyes and huge red nose! I have tried other herbs with limited success, but I was drawn to this remedy because it contained homeopathics and herbs. So far I have had far fewer symptoms with only a few mild attacks even though this is the time of year that usually really gets to me. I am going to purchase your SOS Hista Drops as advised when I spoke to your consultant. " Shirley,M UK

"I developed allergies in my teens to just about anything, especially house dust and animals. Antihistamines went everywhere with me, but didn't do the job completely. Without them I was a mess - with them I managed but always felt drowsy, depressed and listless. As a young man I did not even date much because I felt I could not kiss a girl when my nose was blocked and swollen and I felt unattractive. These tablets and the drops have helped more than I can say. Native Remedies products have helped every time I have used them for anything, including my allergies " Bennett, Melbourne Australia

Believing That There Is No Hope Of Normality...

...you are one of 20 million people in the USA alone who suffer with ANXIETY DISORDER and/or PANIC DISORDER.

Every single anxiety disorder, panic attack, phobia, OCD & PTSD sufferer on this planet has a condition that is caused and perpetuated by the same single thing; this thing is called the Amygdala, it’s a small almond shaped organ in the brain, this fact has been known for many years and is common knowledge amongst scientists world over. No matter how bad your symptoms are, no matter how long you have had anxiety disorder, this tiny organ is 100% responsible. IT is the cause of your anxiety; not stress, bereavement or life circumstances…they are just the triggers for the anxiety.

Why use The Linden Method over other Treatments?

This week I was asked an interesting question by an anxiety disorder sufferer who was interested in using the Linden Method, he asked:

”With all the products for anxiety disorder and panic attack sufferers available on-line, obviously I was attracted by yours, but why should I use it over someone else’s?”

What I have discovered is that my method is actually THE process that happens to ALL anxiety disorder sufferers who recover, but usually it is done subconsciously and actually quite by mistake.

I make the process conscious by describing its mechanics to build awareness and provide an easy to follow structure to work to.

I have NEVER found or heard of one case of full recovery where this process hasn’t been used…and no other product or therapy that I have ever researched or reviewed uses this technique.

Success is inevitable, it just has to be done.

'The Linden Method is fast becoming the most successful, sensitive and drug free treatment for anxiety disorders and panic attacks ever, and rightly so! We hope to have more centres across the UK soon to provide this revolutionary method to more of the people who really need it. No other solution comes as close to 'hitting the nail on the head' as this one'. I have seen and spoken to Charles' clients, once desperate people who now can't do enough to thank him.

Cigarette prices jacked again - I'm quitting

I live in Central Ohio. A couple days ago the taxes were raised on cigarettes -- yet again. I'm really tired of this. $4.75 a pack. Stupid. I am going to have to do something about this. Cigarettes are costing me way too much.

Nicotine patches, pills, you know how the list goes.

I came across an interesting site called Quit Smoking Right Now. They claim a 90% success rate and there is a lot of support from people that were happy with their program.

Checking this out might not be such a bad idea. Cigarettes have me feeling really crappy, also. They just drag you down, know what I mean?

What Do Customers of Quit Smoking Right Now Think?

"The Quit Smoking Right Now Program works from DAY ONE! It was quick and easy. I tried everything else. Nothing worked. I have NO urges or desires for a cigarette after 40 years of smoking! You have to try it to believe it. I'm so glad I did."
Linda Russell

"I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for saving my life.

In September 2004, on a whim, I purchased your Quit Smoking Right Now program. I have tried so, so many times to quit smoking and succeeded short-term. I was a 25 year smoker and loved the habit. I picked up your program half hoping it would work. I'd try anything cause I knew the health risks were real but was unable to control my habit. I "sort-of" tried your program and only half applied what was in there. "BIG MISTAKE". After 30 days, I asked for a refund and you returned my money to me. Right around Thanksgiving I found myself still smoking and was surprised that I still had access to your product. I plugged in and with focus and desire was able to quit in one day. No nastiness, freaking-out or any of the stuff associated with my previous attempts at quitting. I didn't even tell my wife who asked days later what was up. I was clear, cool and happy.

I am in my own business and distribute products on the Internet. After 60 days being smoke free, (longest ever), I decided that you were entitled to your money and I owed you big-time for your product. I called you and you were floored by the offer to pay you again. Thanks for your fabulous product and thanks for saving my life. I am truly a non-smoker for the rest of my life."
Ed Price, New York

"A BIG thank you! After 25 years of smoking I am now free of this bad habit and have NO cravings. The Quit Smoking Right Now Program was FUN, EASY and I feel more relaxed and ENERGETIC. I am able to do what I want to do now!"
Carla Bushey

After you have read/listened to our program, about 3 hours, you just carry on with your normal routine only having to set aside a half hour or so per day for 3 weeks (or less) to listen to a special recording we made. Easy!

SuperFoods Rx : Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life

SuperFoods Rx : Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life
by Steven G. Pratt, Kathy Matthews

SuperFoods Rx is based on a simple but profound premise: some foods are dramatically better than others for our health and longevity.

Sure, everyone knows that an apple is a better snack than potato chips, but do you know that a daily handful of walnuts or a bowl of blueberries can actually improve your well-being and longevity?

Steven Pratt, M.D., witnessed the positive results that occurred when his patients with age-related macular degeneration changed their diets to include certain powerhouse foods -- those he has identified as SuperFoods. Backed by proven research on fourteen of the most nutrient-dense foods, this book puts these tools in your hands, and on your plate, to give you more energy, greater protection against disease, and a healthy lifestyle now and for the future.

Whether you're 63 or 23, now is the right time to start eating the SuperFoods way. By making these foods part of your regular eating habits, you can actually change the course of your biochemistry and stop the incremental changes in your body that lead to diseases such as type II diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, obesity, and Alzheimer's.

What are the fourteen SuperFoods? Many may already be part of your daily meals, while some may make occasional appearances. But all are supermarket-friendly nutrition powerhouses:

Beans - Blueberries - Broccoli - Oats - Oranges - Pumpkin - Salmon - Soy - Spinach - Tea -- green or black - Tomatoes - Turkey - Walnuts - Yogurt

SuperFoods Rx not only outlines the amazing health benefits of these fourteen foods, it also includes delicious recipes, kitchen tips, and shopping suggestions that will make the SuperFoods lifestyle simple and irresistible.

Don't like tomatoes? Not to worry; almost all of the SuperFoods have sidekicks -- or substitutions -- that you can enjoy instead. Have some lycopene-rich red watermelon or pink grapefruit instead of tomatoes. Can't bear the thought of spinach? Choose from a list of other dark leafy greens, romaine lettuce, or orange bell peppers.

In SuperFoods Rx, Dr. Pratt leads you from the twentieth-century world of macronutrients -- proteins, fats, and carbohydrates -- into the twenty-first-century world of micronutrients -- phytonutrients, carotenoids, and antioxidants. You'll find:

1. Individual chapters dedicated to each of the fourteen SuperFoods, with the health benefits for each outlined and supported by Dr. Pratt's research, along with ideas for simple ways to get more of these foods into your everyday meals.
2. Fifty original recipes featuring SuperFoods, especially developed by Chef Michel Stroot of the world-renowned Golden Door Spa.
3. A shopping list of brand-name foods to ensure you're buying the most nutrient-dense SuperFoods available.
4. Guidelines for formulating your daily nutrient goals and supplement recommendations.

With Dr. Pratt to guide you through the new nutritional frontier, you will be able to choose and enjoy the foods that are most beneficial to your health, well-being, and longevity.

SuperFoods Rx. You'll feel super.

Holy Superfoods Batman!!, May 20, 2005
Reviewer: a reader

I like self-help books and heard about this one. In a nutshell, it's about 14 foods that are very important because of their outstanding health benefits. For me, the best part is the studies in the back of the book that actually support the information. I give it 5 stars easy. Also compatible with this book readers might want to check out is "The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight Loss Plan, A Pocket Guide To What Works."

You can do this...if I could., May 8, 2005
Reviewer: Tania_Tingel (Australia)

I bought this book with the reluctant intention of going on an anti-cancer diet. I have just been diagnosed with a potential cervical malignancy and my best friend suggested I go on an anti-cancer diet for life as a precaution.

After just 7 days I cannot believe how much better I feel. The most marked change is that I don't get that afternoon slump where I crave chocolate and/or more food and I've stopped continuously craving food. I have heard other nutritionists describing people who don't eat the right food (regardless of how much they eat) as "starving" because they are not getting enough nutrients and I think that was true of me.

In fact I have been having salads for lunch and for the first time in my life I have been feeling satisfied. (In the past I always felt hungry, even just after having a big meal.) My former self would not believe that my future self could possibly say that a salad could satisfy me. I always thought that salads were something that supermodels ate, while starving their way to thinness...

Dr Pratt has excellent little tips that can help you out while shopping..such as not buying bread unless it has more than 3 grams of fibre per serve. With so many different breads competing for your attention in the supermarket isles, flaunting their apparent health giving properties, it's very difficult to know what to purchase. This simple little rule has been of great benefit to me.

Also, what I love the most is that every person who uses the book, applies their new found knowledge in their own way. I am a fussy eater and don't like some of his food suggestions, however I have found that I can very easily incorporate the superfoods into my diet in my own way. He also has supplementary food items he calls "sidekicks" if you don't like the primary superfood he suggests.

Dr Pratt emphasises eating the right foods rather than the minor issues of whether its raw, cooked, combined with the right foods, the right amount, a complete protein, the right balance of carbs vs protein etc. He feels that people get bogged down by the unimportant detail of the latest food research and then become dissolusioned and then throw out the baby with the bath water. He doesn't talk about what not to eat, in fact I tried to find out whether he allows coffee or not, and I couldn't find a reference to it. That impressed me... because his diet makes you feel good about yourself... no food guilt here. So I allow myself to eat whatever I want after I've eaten enough of the superfoods... and strangely, I don't find myself wanting the hot chips or chocolate... because for the first time in my life I feel satisfied.

Dr Pratt references the latest food research..I found the detail of the make-up of the foods too much information for me to process, but it's there if you need it, if you want to know why the food is good for you. I'm happy to just accept the results.

In terms of losing weight (I'm a little over weight) but I'm curious to see where my weight will end up being if I change to this diet for life. Wherever that is will be the right weight for me.

I'm starting to think of food as nature's drug..if healthy food were illegal we'd probably all binge on it on the weekend!

Good for what ails you, and tasty too, February 18, 2004
Reviewer: B. Marold (Bethlehem, PA United States)

This excellent new book by medical doctor Steven Pratt pulls together a lot of recent nutritional research in an easily digestible format by focusing on the fourteen most healthy foods, the foods which can be grouped with these fourteen to provide variety, and some basic methods for preparing these foods.

This is a presentation to the layman of scientific results. By it's nature, this leads to simplifications and potentially misleading statements. My biggest concern with any book of this type is that it is overstating its case. There is no question in my mind that eating these 14 foods (and avoiding worthless foods) will improve your health. The book is very careful in not quantifying potential gains, but it does come dangerously close to making medically unfounded statements. One I detected is the suggestion that eating cholesterol-reducing foods such as oats and cabbage family vegetables will remove the need for drugs to reduce cholesterol. When I posed a similar question to my physician, he kept to the medically sound albeit very conservative line that the tendency of the body to produce cholesterol is genetic and keeping cholesterol within safe levels for me requires medication, probably for the rest of my life. This is a case study of why books like this tend to overstate their cases. Response to improvements in diet is determined by one's genetic makeup. What works for some may not work for others. The bottom line for the skeptic's view of this book is to take all the statements on benefits from these foods with a grain of salt. They may be right for you, and they may not.

Having made the skeptic's case for this book, I turn to the advocate's case. The advantages of the book's simplifications is that you can cruise your megamart with these fourteen (14) foods at the top of your list and focus on those products which are on the list or are allied to the items on the list. While I am not a clinical scientist, I am an informed layman, having developed information systems for medical professionals for 35 years. With those credentials, I believe that eating these foods will, in the long run, be better for your health than not eating them.

One of the best aspects of this book is the list of `sidekicks' to each of these fourteen foodstuffs. Having been a big fan of green vegetables from way back, the list of sidekicks to broccoli is positively erotic, including my favorite Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnips, and Swiss chard. The only food without a sidekick is tea. Sorry, coffee doesn't make the list. Another favorite sidekick is peanuts. Nuts are on the list, but peanuts actually makes the list because it's a legume, like beans, and not a nut. A little misdirection there.

The best thing about this list is that, to my mind, only three of these foods (oats, soy, and yogurt) are uninteresting. I personally find all the others to be range from being pleasant (broccoli, salmon, spinach, pumpkin, tomatoes, beans, and turkey) to being positively delightful (blueberries, oranges, tea, turkey, and walnuts). One great thing about the tasty foods such as blueberries and walnuts is that they can brighten up the taste of the bland stuff (oats and yogurt especially).

With the warning that I am neither a medical nor a nutritional professional, I believe this book tends to raise questions about the currently very popular low carbohydrate diet doctrines. I say this not because many of the foods on this list are high on the devil's list of low carb advocates, but that high carbohydrate foodstuffs are often the best of mates to some of these foods. Two famous pairings are beans and rice and berry jam and bread.

The book contains a very nice section of recipes by a very talented and recognized spa chef. They are all very tasty looking and the notes to the recipes contain a lot of hints, such as the most nutritious varieties of sweet potatoes and the method for making yogurt cheese. But, I will probably never make any of them. Instead, I will file away all of the food combinations and use them when I select recipes from other cookbooks or improvise recipes on my own.

If these fourteen foods represent a `kosher' or best selection, it would be nice to see a selection of `parve' foods. That is, foods which fall into a neutral to good category. Two prime candidates would be olive oil and red wine. The book mentions and recommends both and is wisely careful in citing wine as a beneficial food. This interest is addressed to some extend with the Lifestyle Pyramid which endorses whole grain products, healthy fats, and reasonable portions of red meats and eggs.

In spite of the opening skeptical paragraph, I believe this is a delightfully promising book which gives easy to follow guidelines without oversimplifying things too much. For those who are not already fond of spinach and turkey and tomatoes, I recommend they establish a relationship with a good book on Italian food and start with turkey Florentine (turkey and spinach) and vegetable lasagna.

With a list price under $25, I recommend this book to everyone.
